Andrew Wiggins & Kansas Jayhawks Shine In The Season Opener With 80-63 Victory Over Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.
Friday night, Kansas Jayhawks opened up their 2014 season at home against the the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks. The much talked about number 1 pick for the upcoming NBA Draft next year, Andrew Wiggins made his formal debut with the team scoring 16 points. Throughout the game, he forced a few turnovers for some fast-break highlights, and only finished with 9 shots going 2-4 from beyond-the-arch.
Wiggins debut was what we expected against the non-ranked Warhawks, but his talent level of opposition will see an increase immediately next week. The sexiest match-up College Hoops fans have wanted to see for quite some time is the Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins meeting. Both players are sought to be the top 2 picks for the upcoming draft along with Julius Randle all being freshmen. This year’s draft class is being viewed upon as the biggest quite some time and we’ll see this Tuesday how elite the two players are when Jabari’s No. 4 Duke Blue Devils host Andrew’s No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks. You can check after the jump to view highlights from Wiggin’s first NCAA regular season game.
